Frontend Engineer Developer Productivity

Zalando is transforming from an e-commerce company into a multi-service platform that provides fashion as a service. We make it our mission to imagine and predict the infinite points of interaction between fashion and people - and develop the technology to make them possible. The 1,600+ members of Zalando Technology across our offices in Germany, Ireland and Finland build most of our 40+ platform products in-house and open source - from Smart Logistics to Brand Solutions to Payments and Warehouse Management.

Developer Productivity is responsible for providing a frictionless journey from idea to go-live within Zalando. To do so we are building sophisticated tooling around all aspects of the software development lifecycle such as CI / CD, container orchestration, monitoring and visibility. We are looking for a Frontend Engineer to join a team in building the frontend console which allows for teams to visualize and manage builds and deployments for our in-house Kubernetes platform. We are looking to build upon and expand this console to provide additional tooling needed to create a world-class developer experience for more than 1,600 Zalando colleagues.
